Sigur Rós Frontman Jónsi Announces Solo Tour, Reveals Album Cover

SigurRósfrontmanJónsiBirgisson is striking out on his own this year. On March 23 April 6, XL will release Go, his first solo album. And in April, Jónsi's solo show will come to North America for a full-scale tour, including a stop at Coachella. We've got all the dates below.

On his Flickr page, Jónsi has been posting photos of how his stage set might look, and we could be in for something seriously epic here. In the weeks leading up to the tour, he'll post more sneak peeks of the show on his website.

Also, that splash of finely etched color you see above? That's the cover art for Go, as Jónsi himself recently revealed on his website.

And last week, Jónsi and composer Nico Muhly performed together in London's Bethnal Green neighborhood. Super-arty, out-of-focus video of that team-up below:
